Authorsuggest harsh punishment for afk hunters asking for assist
there are some people asking for others help and they fled themselves.

could admin consider DELETING their account completely as the punishment? They are ruining this games and should not be welcome anyway. let them go.
I have a few done this to me:
Precao, harron, wickedness

Anybody could get pissed off by such behaviors, and they shouldn't play this game if they are so irresponsible and immature.
Hm... if someone had disconnected in the battle, then he is "irresponsible and immature"? Why do you think that they just closed game and go out?
one way you can still see their status is online. and a reasonable or mature person would have sent email to the helper to apology and give a reason for their behavior. I didn't get any response after they did this. So are they "irresponsible and immature" or not?
but deletin their account is pretty harsh dnt u think??
i agree that -2 luck is hardly a punishment but deleting the account is too harsh in my view.
delete is a harsh one, but for their behavior to try ruining this game, it is an option.
maybe they aren't trying to ruin this game,maybe they just have something urgent to do or they got disconnected.

It is possible, but a person should explain a bit later. Without any apology, their behaviors are not acceptable in any game or even in real life.
Why are you so angry? As for me - i have very bad connection sometimes - radio link. And what, i must explain it always? Eah - i try not enter to the battle with others when i see - inet is bad. But sometimes its dissapiars for 1 minute or more.
There are many situation may be present - but remember, this is the GAME, try to understand people and just wait some time if he or she went afk.
I think people should at least type something or explain that they have to leave for a bit, typing "phone", "pee", "water boil", "baby crying" wouldn't take 5 seconds, and everyone else doesn't have to stare at all of your units' 60-120 second timer, waiting and not knowing whether you'd be back or not.
This called afkers. know, dont know - what diference if you have to wait? But how can you anderstand, when player afk and when he got problems wiht connection?

if you have very bad internet connection and still like to waste other people time, you should haven't started this game and you should quit now.
Same thing happened to me before, and I lost lots of units for that 0.25 skill point while the AFK guy got all the xperience and gold
And it was such a waste of my time because 2 people could finish it a lot faster

It's really unfair and below is what I think should be proper:
1.The assistance person gets all the gold and experience and 0.5 skill points and the AFK hunter gets -2 badluck for sometime
2.The AFK person gets fined, like 500 gold, and needs longer to restore the units, like 1 hour instead of 15 minutes
3.There's something like "asked for help but went afk" shown on the afk hunter's combat record or somewhere so people can see

I like the part about keeping a record of how many times a person AFK's. That'll show others how trustworthy they are before you even fight with them. Even having it for outside of helping with a fight as well. Anytime they do it.
And I like the part about having to take longer to restore units as well. If they had to go somewhere and couldn't finish the match then it's obvious they don't need their army to restore as fast. They should be off doing something else rather then having a full army ready to go before they even return.

I'm just trying to get involved because I'm annoyed with AFK people as well as everyone else..
13 & 14 gave very good suggestions. I believe this game definitely has to punish hard on AFKers, (any kind of AFKers); otherwise, less and less people would like to join the group fights, and the game could lose its attraction totally.
